The Raptors, sitting fifth in the East and coming off a win over the Bulls, look to extend their strong form against a Bucks team that’s won three straight but is severely hampered by injuries to key players like Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Key
Player Matchups
Without Barnes and Giannis, the game shifts to secondary stars and depth battles:
- Brandon Ingram (TOR) vs. Kyle Kuzma/Cam Thomas (MIL): Ingram (22 PPG, 25th in league) exploits mismatches with mid-range scoring; Kuzma/Thomas must contain him to keep Milwaukee competitive.
- RJ Barrett (TOR) vs. Ryan Rollins (MIL): Barrett’s slashing (21 PPG recently) vs. Rollins’ two-way play (27 PPG in wins); Rollins could disrupt with defense.
- Jakob Poeltl (TOR) vs. Myles Turner/Bobby Portis (MIL): Poeltl’s rebounding (9 RPG) dominates the paint if Turner sits; Portis provides energy but lacks size.
- Other Notes: Immanuel Quickley (TOR) could feast on Milwaukee’s perimeter without Prince; Kevin Porter Jr. (MIL) adds scoring punch but Toronto’s defense (10.6 SPG) targets turnovers.
